Our dermatologist's opinion
It is normal to lose 50 to 80 hairs a day. There is seasonal hair loss (in spring or autumn) that is corrected naturally or with the help of appropriate food supplements. But the most worrying condition for a man is androgynous alopecia that is characterised by a receding hairline at the temples and hair loss from the crown of the head.
It is estimated that one out of every two men suffers hair loss. It is difficult to predict the speed of evolution and importance of the alopecia as it depends on 2 main factors: heredity and androgenic stimulation.
The circulating androgens are transformed within the hair follicle by an enzyme called 5alpha reductase, into dihydrotestosterone. It is this substance the triggers a shortening of the growth phase and progressive miniaturisation of the follicles with decreasing hair diameter.
